THE family of seven-year-old Julian Cadman, who was murdered in the Barcelona terror attack, have said they were blessed to have had him in their lives.

Relatives of the boy, who had dual British-Australian nationality, had appealed for information about his whereabouts after he became separated from his mother in the massacre on Las Ramblas last Thursday evening, which left 13 dead and at least 120 injured.

In a statement, released by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Australia, his family said: "Julian was a much loved and adored member of our family.

"As he was enjoying the sights of Barcelona with his mother, Julian was sadly taken from us. He was so energetic, funny and cheeky, always bringing a smile to our faces.

"We are so blessed to have had him in our lives and will remember his smiles and hold his memory dear to our hearts.”

The family added: “We would like to thank all those who helped us in searching for Julian. Your kindness was incredible during a difficult time.

"We also acknowledge we are not the only family to be affected by the events, our prayers and thoughts are with all people affected."

Julian's father and grandmother travelled to Spain from Australia following the attack and his grandfather Tony Cadman had urged people to share a photograph of Julian on Facebook as fears for his safety grew.

In the photograph, Julian is wearing a jumper with a crest that says Chiddingstone Nursery, which is a nursery school in Kent.

On Saturday, the Philippines' Government said a seven-year-old child missing following the attack was the son of a 43-year-old Filipino woman who had been living in Australia.

Sarah Arriola, the Foreign Affairs Undersecretary for Migrant Workers Affairs, said the woman was with her son in Barcelona to attend the wedding of a cousin from the Philippines.

Ms Arriola said the woman, who was seriously injured, became separated from her child in the attack, and her British husband was heading to Barcelona to try to find his son.

At least 14 people were killed and more than 100 injured in the two terror attacks in Spain, with those affected hailing from all over the world.

Citizens of 34 countries were caught up in the atrocities, including England, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Australia, Canada, the United States, France and China.
